“Whether we’re building an automotive product or a bike for a family, our focuses on quality and safety always shine through,” said John Klassen, president of the DENSO ���߲ݴ�ýfacility. “I’d like to thank our DENSO team, GNSC and , who always make this a fun opportunity for us to use our manufacturing skills to help people in the community.”

DENSO said they also include a helmet with each bike, which are for all different riders from young children to adults. Each is inspected by Grand River Cycle before it is distributed. The GNSC matches the bikes up with local family members in need, just in time for the holidays.

Brendan Johnson, executive director of GNSC, said “these bikes are a gift of love and kindness to the community.”

“When our community comes together for a common cause, good things happen,” said Johnson. “We’re grateful for DENSO’s commitment to build-a-bike, which amounts to much more than just assembling bicycles. It can make all the difference in creating a memorable holiday for our neighbours and friends in Guelph.”

At an event held on Dec. 5, DENSO announced the team is donating $2,000 to the GNSC’s North End Harvest Market (NEHM).

Part-time staff member Barb McPhee said donations like this are integral to keeping the market going. Volunteers are pressing on to provide fresh food to folks after 10 years. “It’s exciting. Donations mean that each day we can continue the work to provide this service to the community,” she said.

Marketers who are signed up for the service can come every other week to access a selection of free fresh produce for their families. The NEHM is now held at Trinity United Church, at , on Wednesdays, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. It shares $1,500 worth of fresh food every week with approximately 250 regular attendees. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to adopt a week through donations.
